Infrastructure bill includes $8bn to develop ‘clean hydrogen’ but study finds large emissions from production of ‘blue’ hydrogen
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/12/clean-fuel-blue-hydrogen-coal-study
Excerpt from article:
[Blue hydrogen involves splitting gas into hydrogen and carbon dioxide and then capturing and storing the CO2 to ensure it doesn’t heat the planet. But this process involves the incidental release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and uses a huge amount of energy to separate and then store the carbon dioxide, some of which escapes anyway.
This means that the production of this hydrogen actually creates 20% more greenhouse gases than coal, commonly regarded the most polluting fossil fuel, when being burned for heat, and 60% more than burning diesel, according to the new paper, published in the Energy Science & Engineering journal. ]
--------------------------------------------------------------
The greenies in the climate cult never dare have the facts on their side. Just a constant banging of the drum to ban all fossil fuels immediately.
We must disregard the facts, because the elite invest in these scams and they must profiteer from a rigged system?
The Leftist climate change cult politicians are picking the winners and losers within the business community, based upon their acquiescence to the green cultists.
The Leftist politicians and MSM within power are marketing propaganda ahead of facts. Who loses? The US consumer and planet earth.
